World Aquatics’ Post

Governance failure - they fail athletes, they fail aquatics sports, they fail swimming, they fail in the core mission of growing the sports they regulate - 6 weeks before an Olympics in a year that has already featured a half-baked World Championships ... such decisions make swimming smaller and more remote from any prospect of genuine growth... media, too, will keep moving away if championships are no longer championships but moments of compromise bypassed by many of the biggest title and podium shots ... beyond the ardent fan and those nations/athletes knowing they can make hay while the best are away and looking to capitalise or even try out their next wave, no-one cares about this event because it isn't the championships it should be. To grow a sport, you need to reach the wider audience that looks for a guarantee of quality (the very best should be there), meaningful competition that transpires best times and niche aims, that finds a regular place in a regular season, its traditional purpose untouchable. Make this a local gala or development meet and its game over!

Going from strength to strength...

# At_Paris_Olympics, a new special system will be applied to the qualifications of 200/400/800/1500 and 100/110/400 hurdles races, where a round of concentration will be added between the first and semi-finals, as shown in the picture below النه For example 800 meters race which is important for us as Algerians ♦️ The first round There are 6 qualifying series, from which the first 3 qualify directly to the semi-finals, a total of 18 runners against 30 runners. The rest will go through a training stage tomorrow consisting of 4 series from which the winner of the qualifying round + 2 the best timing to the semi-final round, so that the total of those qualified for the semi-final will become 24 runners. ♦️ Semi final round 24 runners are divided into 3 qualifying series, from which the first runners in each qualifying + 2 the best timing to the final round, and therefore we have 8 runners in the 800 meters final

Back(stroke) so soon? World Aquatic Championships The @world_aquatics Championships has landed in Doha for 17 days of intensely competitive international water sports. Normally held every 24 months in odd years only, 2024 is making up for lost time due to the championships missed during the COVID outbreak. So sport finally sees something good come from the pandemic - extra pool actions for aqua fans. The first ever Word Aquatics Championships in the Middle East which is a landmark for the region, but also of importance is the results from these finals providing clear markers of what is to come later in 2024, an Olympic year. 191 countries competed in the 2023 Championships, and Doha will look to improve on this. With champions such as @adam_peaty of the United Kingdom and @sarahsjostrim of Sweden, plus teams such as the @magyar_uszo_szovetseg water polo squad, all eyes will be on Doha. The USA led the medal count come competition close in 2023.  Can any nation challenge them at the top of the medal board in Qatar? #world_aquatics,  #FINA, #swimming  #usaswimming  #waterpolo  #diving adam_peaty #istaa #istaaorg #sportstravel #sportshospitality #goistaamembers #strongertogether

It's official: Canada has secured an Olympic spot for Female Formula Kite in Paris2024. Here are some interesting facts: - There are only 20 total spots available worldwide for the Female Formula kite event. Following the USA's qualification last August, Canada secured the North American spot at the PanAm Games this month. - Four Canadian female racers, including myself, are training for the single Canadian spot. The selection will be based on the total points earned in two races: one in Palma, Spain, in April, and the WORLD event, in France, in May. - The Kitefoil racing event will be held in Marseille, with the games scheduled from July 26 to August 11, 2024. Kiting follows the sailing rules, so we race at the same spots as other sailors and boats. - All racers are allowed to use registered gear only, and this is highly controlled. The FLYSURFER VMG kite is the preferred choice for the racecourse. Now, the question remains: Can I get that coveted spot? If you're interested in tracking my progress, you can check each sailor's results on the WORLD SAILING website at this link: https://www.sailing.org/. I didn't qualify for the PanAm Games, which were based on the US Open results in Clearwater last February. But, I have finished as the top Canadian female at the major international events this year, including Worlds (August), Europeans (September), and Palma (April). If you are aware of a company that may be interested in partnering with me on my journey to the Olympics, I'm actively seeking collaborations.
